I want to get a deep wine-reddish color. But I have black hair. Can I get that effect? If so which color?

Having color show up on black hair is never a guarantee. If you used a color like Ruby Red or Candy Apple you will most likey end up with a shine of dark red in any natural highlights of your hair.

I am not sure if you will be able to achieve the color you want without bleaching. I've always bleach before color, but then again I go for really bright colors. The deepest wine color I know of Special Effects is Burgundy Wine, pull up Special Effects color swatches on Google and then research the colors you like and you will find some good pictures of what the color looks like on other peoples hair. I've read of some people doing color without bleaching and they usually get the color they want but the color washes out rather quickly. Hope this help! =]

The dark brown that I had purchased for my hair has specs of red in it. If your hair is more toward the reddish burgundy then order #118. If it has more of brown with red specs order #4/6. I know it sounds confusing but I took a chance to order a product on line. Hope that helps Daryn. Have a lovely day.

I have dark brown hair to and I always buy the black because brown is for people with straight up brown hair you'd be unhappy with your purchase if you did brown, there would be a big difference between your hair and the brown. Onless your hair more of a brown.

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

If you bleach your hair and then go over it you may end up with an orange color that faded quickly. The red over the black will give it a beautiful red hue.

My hair is dark, dark brown and I chose dark brown. Not sure what to tell you but it works for me. Hope this helps.

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

I used this color at a salon, and to getthe deep purple I wanted They needed to lift some of my natural color first. (I have dark brown hair) Now it looks amazing, but its a dark purple.

The manic panic should help lift the black and get you to a yellow blonde color. After that, to achieve a dark ash blonde you will need to use a toner. Please feel free to email sales@doctoredlocks.com with any further questions!

I personally have tried to change *even ever so slightly* the color of my synthetic wigs, but have not found a fail-proof way of doing so. I tried the rubbing alcohol and shaprie trick, but that only lightly tinted the fibers of the lightest wig i had. This one I tried to make darker, no success. Though I should say I LOOOOOOOVE the deep wine color this piece has in person(: hope I helped

Yes, I have dark hair and it worked fine on mine. All I did was follow the instructions and got great results. On my dark hair some of the colors started to fade after 3 - 4 hours.

When I had it done my hair dresser it did not cover the grey at my roots so we covered it with black. The rest of my hair was covered with that Great color Violet, just love that color!

My false bang is black/brown..almost black. I think you should go with all black if your hair color isnatural black. If you want a little highlight, go with the black/brown..It's a beautiful color and is very'shiny. I just had it trimmed and it is so natural looking..If you are purchasing a full head wig, go with the black/brown..

Thanks for contacting us. Sorry to say but you will not get bright red on your dark color hair. Henna is chemical free hair dye which you can only go from lightTo darker color. By using this you will achieve red tints on your dark hair. Thank you and hope we have answered your question.

Yes - unless you're trying to go blonde, or bright red. Being allergic to permanent hair colors, the cellophanes give me the opportunity to mask the incoming gray in my deep chestnut-colored hair. However, as I also mix the Deep Brunette Cellophane (which, like my own color is almost black) with some of the Gold Red for highlights. First time I did this, I was just happy having more shine and not seeing any gray in my roots. However, in brighter lights (like sunshine) it REALLY looks spectacular - even my hairdresser wanted to know what I'd discovered! Hope this helps you.

Angelina is correct. If you use a chemical color darker than your hair color (like black), it should be okay. But you can't lighten your hair. It will turn into green, and won't get the color! (One of my friends did it).
